ups & downs of trying to be healthier

WOD(s): Body Beast Build Back & Biceps (397 calories) **DAY 3**
Food: Well, at almost 5p, I haven’t had a single sweet (aka Christmas cookie) all day! That’s pretty good! I’ve had fairly healthy stuff today, too. I’m trying…Thoughts: Only 87 days to go! Not like I’m counting down or anything. But it is nice to see that number go down, even just a day at a time. I still haven’t taken my before pictures/measurements 😕 But I think once I take those, I’m going to stop weighing myself every day. I used to be pretty good at the self-control and just weighed in once a week. But I think I want to wait a few weeks in between right now. Because Body Beast is a strength program, the likelihood that I’ll lose weight isn’t as high as that I’ll lose inches. So I want to only weigh in every so often. Plus, I always tell myself that the number on the scale doesn’t matter or that it’s not the most important thing, but I’ve been doing it every day like it matters. Anyways, wish me luck with that!

me…healthier

2012: The beginning of my journey to be healthier.
2013: My personal peak of fitness and health. Proudest moments being the two half-marathons I ran.
2014: Pregnant with first baby, gained 40 pounds. But Madilyn was totally worth it
2015: Varying efforts to try to get my butt back in shape.
2016: Really struggled with food, but also activity level, due to a molar pregnancy and a separate miscarriage. Heaviest I've ever been, even more than before I originally started my healthy lifestyle.
September 2016-present: Pregnant again and so far, so good.
